Also, it's not a "Dreamwave book reissue" series. The official name is "Transformers Collection".

And only about half of them actually USED Dreamwave art. The other half (Starscream, Tracks, Skids and several others) had entirely new artwork drawn by Hirofumi Ichikawa, who never in his life worked for Dreamwave.

I dunno why everyone always says that, because IDW, and Don Murphy's art for that matter, is the same hunched over, balloony, always reaching forward, immobile kind of Transformer art with joints that "clip" that we've been getting since forever I'm not saying its better or worse, but its not like "Dreamwave style" is dead.

Still kicking myself for not getting the Hot Rod, Insecticons, and Minicons when I had the chance. I may sell the TRU exclusive Soundwave reissue later so I can have the money to buy some of the bookstyle reissues.

From what I remember reading, Blitzwing had a relatively short run in the TFC series.

Soundblaster (and Soundwave before him) was a classic case of how wrong the typical transfan know-it-all naysayer's demand equation can be. "There's not enough demand to ever justify a reissue. Also the molds are at the bottom of the ocean. Or in space!" Of course, Takara goes and not only finds a working mold (or most of one), but reproduces a toy that sells out almost immediately in all _four_ subsequent releases. The same people are busily trying to debunk an Encore Grimlock now for much the same reasons and they'll be just as wrong this time too.

Insecticons, anyone's guess. They're lackluster toys that I expected to see clearanced.
